In re Interest of Trey H.
Annotate this CaseA county court, sitting as juvenile court, adjudicated Trey H. and committed him to the custody of the Office of Juvenile Services (OJS) with placement in his parental home. After Trey violated his treatment plan, the court changed his placement to a youth rehabilitation and treatment center (YRTC) operated by OJS. The court then conducted a review hearing in which the Department of Health and Human Services argued that the juvenile court did not have statutory authority to order the review hearings. After examining the juvenile code, the Supreme Court concluded that a juvenile court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to conduct review hearings for such juveniles. Because the order was void, the Court vacated the order and dismissed the Department's appeal.
